Issues with setting 'privilege 1' for local users account

[Nissi]

I've created a user on a switch running IOS 16 using the following command:

     username testuser privilege 1 secret testsecret

If I should pull the Tech-Support logs, I'm noting that the username entry is reflecting the following:

     username testuser secret 5 <removed>

Is this normal? I was expecting username testuser privilege 1 secret 5 <removed>. I have benchmarking tool that is looking for the privilege level.

Hello,

apparently, 1 doesn't show up in the running config, probably because it is considered the lowest (default). Everything higher does show up.

username testuser secret 5 $1$8eDz$hQcBmkWVU84jwqGlCZrHO.
username testuser2 privilege 2 secret 5 $1$yVBT$bIopVOKQZObVJbWMIC7Uj1
username testuser3 privilege 3 secret 5 $1$JtxS$K626QLWXuCH5.QJlXcMdg1
username testuser4 privilege 4 secret 5 $1$.LGs$siCzsrktsQOKTdvtbwslZ1
username testuser5 privilege 5 secret 5 $1$J9Ju$p2pLTJTdWVkTD6QwUlcCQ1
